Eleanor M. Gillespie

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 3:20 AM - GateHouse Media, Inc. 

Eleanor M. Gillespie, M.D., 94, died at home in Suffield, Conn., on July 23, 2009, following a long illness. She was born on Sept.4, 1914, in Pontiac, Mich., a daughter of Judge Glenn C. Gillespie and Leola Chamberlin Gillespie. Dr. Gillespie received a B.A. from Wellesley College in 1936, where she was a member of Sigma Phi honor society. She also earned a degree from the Philadelphia School of Occupational Therapy and worked as an occupational therapist at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich. When Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, Eleanor decided to attend medical school.  She received her M.D. in 1944 from the University of Michigan and then worked for a year as an intern at Lincoln General Hospital in Lincoln, Neb. Dr. Gillespie opened a private general practice in Sturgis, Mich., in 1945 and provided for the medical needs of families in Sturgis for over 23 years. She was a founder and trustee of Glen Oaks Community College, serving students in Sturgis and in all of St. Joseph County. She was also a supporter of Camp Fort Hill, a camp for children and a community recreation center and natural area on Middle Lake near Sturgis. In 1984, she donated 68 acres of land to the camp, stipulating that the land “shall forever be maintained and utilized for the benefit of the youth of the City of Sturgis.”  Dr. Gillespie moved to Wellesley, Mass., in 1968 to study anesthesiology, which had long been an area of special interest to her. She completed a residency in anesthesiology at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston in 1970.  She then practiced anesthesiology at New England Baptist Hospital in Boston. Upon her retirement in 1977, Dr. Gillespie moved to New London, N.H., where she lived for many years with her long time friend and companion, Blanche Emory. Following Blanche’s death in 1992, she moved to Suffield, Conn., in 2006 to be near her cousin Diana Rossow and Bob Rossow. Dr. Gillespie loved art, music, ballet and opera, and she was an avid piano player. She frequently attended concerts and performances in Boston in her later years and was a life-long supporter of the arts. She was also an accomplished genealogist and spent many hours researching and writing about the history of her family. She enjoyed travel and took a special interest in her family heritage in the United Kingdom. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Society of Mayflower Descendents, the American Medical Association, the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Alpha Epsilon Iota Medical Fraternity. Eleanor was a warm-hearted and generous friend to all who met her, and was particularly devoted to her younger sister, Eunice. She had a kindly and genteel demeanor and often surprised friends with her mischievous sense of humor. She was a respected member of the medical community, a pioneer who began her career with a solo family practice in a small town and moved to a large city at the age of 54 to complete a residency in anesthesiology, a great accomplishment as a physician and as a woman.   Dr. Gillespie was preceded in death by her parents and by her sister, Eunice J. Hendrix, and brother-in-law, Robert C. Hendrix, M.D. She is survived by three nephews, David Hendrix, Glenn Hendrix, and Dan Hendrix, and one niece, Anne Fitzgerald, their spouses, and by numerous great-nieces, nephews, and cousins, including Diana Rossow and daughter Elizabeth Jackson. She was a long-time member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Sturgis. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 110 South Clay St., Sturgis. Burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery in Sturgis. A reception and luncheon in celebration of Dr. Gillespie’s life will be held at the main lodge at Camp Fort Hill at 2 p.m. Directions will be provided. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to St. John’s Episcopal Church, the Sturgis Area Community Foundation Camp Fort Hill Endowment Fund or Performing Arts Endowment Fund, or the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s and Women’s Hospital.
